Winter23

DOB 10/27/23 – Winter23 is a sweet female cat. She came to us as a kitten with an issue with her left eye. She loves the string wand and being petted and brushed. I normally brush her while rubbing her ear/chin and she will allow brushing of her tummy also. Sometimes when she gets overstimulated while being brushed/petted she might lick her hand and then very lightly bite; I just pull my hand away, tell her “No” and leave her alone for a few minutes. <br/>The vet believes she previously sustained a penetrating trauma to her left eye and her iris came forward to plug the hole (iris prolapse). The wound has healed, leaving a mound of iris tissue and scar at the site. Her left eye appears smaller. She will always have a raised brown spot at the top of this eye, but it may flatten out some as she ages. This spot may be somewhat fragile compared to normal tissue; should she develop any signs of active corneal leaking (watery discharge, squinting, etc.) seek veterinary care right away. A post-traumatic ocular sarcoma can develop, making it difficult for owners or regular veterinarians who do not perform a total in-depth eye exam so full eye exams, preferably by an ophthalmologist, every 6 months for her life. <br/>She has not had any eye issues whatsoever since October of 2024.<br/>I will rub her chin/ear on her left side, but I normally avoid petting her around her left eyebrow and eye.<br/>Because of her eye issues it is recommended she be adopted to a household with no children. She can be with another cat, just one that is very laid back; you want to avoid any potential that her eye would be swatted.
